back to work, back to work i go.

so on friday i had an interview at howard lake middle school for a para-professional job.
back up to tuesday. hmm, well i haven't had an interview since 2007 when i interviewed at juut. needless to say i was not nervous but anxious. then forgetting that i can't bring my child with, i started to get nervous about who could watch him. lizzie johnson (sarah's sister) came to mind. asked her, she can.. great. okay so now what..
waiting, waiting, waiting till friday.
lizzie comes a little early (thank you!) so i can get on the road. everyone told me it would take 45 minutes to get to howard lake... no. it took 30 minutes which meant that i sat in my car for 15 minutes making myself nervous.
the interview was right on time..
but, it was honestly 85 degrees in the room we interviewed in... and it was three people instead of just the one i thought it would be. and i felt like i answered the same answer for at least four of the questions.
well i must of done okay because by 4 pm on friday i accepted the position.
i'm actually really proud of myself because i landed this job with no connections. my mom works for this company, but they have no idea i'm her daughter. and to be frank, i don't want them to know until i can prove to them i'm capable of handling this job.
my job entails working with a little girl and helping her develop skills to be more independent. it's a school within a school called, TREK. it's for children who are having a hard time learning in the mainstream school. they are from the MAWSECO school districts and are bused over to howard lake. we will be doing TEEACH projects, discreet trial training, boardmaker and other programs- all which i've already worked with in previous jobs.
to go along with this job is sending my sweet little gavin to daycare. I'M FREAKING OUT. tomorrow i will spend the majority of the day calling daycares around litchfield, dassel and cokato to try to find the perfect fit for gav.
